It’s risky as hell with a big payout or disaster. It is a typical all in move that Trump is known for. The problem is the judge. I have no doubt she is working with Smith and they have the whole thing mapped out. She will block anything that will help Trump. I don’t know how obvious it will be to the casual observer

Why is it risky? There's effectively zero percent chance the court will allow broadcasting of the trial, and the posted article even gives a link to Federal rule 53 that explicitly prohibits broadcasting
"Rule 53. Courtroom Photographing and Broadcasting Prohibited Except as otherwise provided by a statute or these rules, the court must not permit the taking of photographs in the courtroom during judicial proceedings or the broadcasting of judicial proceedings from the courtroom."
This is either an attempt to make a point in the court of public opinion, or just more bad lawyering by Trump's ramshackle legal team. He really needs better lawyers.
